You're going to need a more advanced forensics to do what you want. There are companies that do this for a business (I know you've stated you're in that business, but you're really not in this business).
I don't think you'll get the answer you need here in the forums, it's just not an answer you'll find made public.

JSanders makes some excellent suggestions.
Blackberry phones are known for their security so I imagine it will be tougher to recover the data on them due to possible encryption of the memory contents. This may be tougher than just a simple interface to phone...just my thoughts, I'm not an expert on the recovery process, or how they keep their data secure.
Hope you find the necessary help!

We primarily work on desktop drives, laptop drives, memory cards, and USB drives. We have the ability to flash ROM chips and have a level 100 clean-room. We have been used as "data recovery experts" in courts of law, and are sought out in our area by attorneys who need a technical expert.
If you are saying that BB's need something "special", that's fine. But, I'd like to know what that something special is.

I'm not doubting your expertise, and I really wouldn't know where to start with recovering data of a dead BB.
As JSanders mentioned, contact RIM for further assistance. Take a look here for support services: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/programs/
Blackberry phones are the preferred device among many businesses primarily for data security. I'm sure the data can be accessed from the phone, but I doubt it will be as easy as just managing to connect to the on-board memory. Once again, this is purely speculation on my part so I could be wrong. Try out the link above and good luck 
Let us know if all goes well!
